    Wanted, S210 E320cdi

    Regret getting rid of mine! Want something half decent. Will swap my BMW 520d se. Engine replaced and timing chain and clutch done. High miles but engine is only 70k. Manual, nav, heated leather. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    Ah, but there isn't a car on the reliable list with any character. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

    Wish I'd kept the Mercedes!

    So far, EGR, DPF before catastrophic engine failure due to a failed injector, resulting in a second hand 70,000 mile engine. My turbo was no good so that was done as well as a precautionary timing chain replacement as they are renowned for failing. Also a cracked inlet manifold and flaps...

    Wish I'd kept the Mercedes!

    When I decided to get rid of the S210 320cdi I thought it would save me some money. How wrong I was! £2800 for the car then the same on repairs. Everything that could go wrong has. It is a vastly superior drive over the 210, and running costs are lower, but I wish I'd kept the Merc! Sent from...

    The grass isn't greener!

    Having sold my S210 320 cdi, I decided to stay with German but newer and BMW. Found an 08 520d touring. High mileage (170,000) but history and timing chain done. In the 2 months I've had it it has had to have: EGR valve DPF Inlet manifold (cracked) Fault with ABS/ traction control. Now it...

    New headache!

    I am now the proud owner of 2 large estate cars, much to the anoyance of my neighbours! The 210 is trying to find a new owner and is glaring at the E61 5 series. However, the 5 sees us already being difficult. DTC, amber brake warning and after 1 day , eml plus the battery warning is coming on...

    Being honest.

    Now re listed and sill in the classified ads on here. The insurance was too expensive for the eBay man apparently! Sent from my SM-T365 using Tapatalk

    Not sure this bloke is going to turn up. Took it at the buy it now price, but is now difficult to get hold of. If he doesn't want it I wish he would just say so! Sent from my SM-T365 using Tapatalk

    Well, advertised the car today, on here and ebay. 10 min on ebay and someone goes buy it now for £700! Just had a chat with him and have been honest, it's a 2002 s210 with 216,000 miles so not showroom, and said come and drive it. If he's not happy then I won't make him take it. Seems genuine...

    E320cdi Avantgarde estate

    Time has come to part with my car. I just need something newer and cheaper to tax. It does have faults and as any 210, there is some rust but by no means the worst I've seen. In the 2 years I have owned it it has had the following: All 6 injectors replaced at a cost of just under £1000! New...

    Exhaust back box.

    After a replacement back box for my S210 320 cdi. Any recommendations? Still thinking of getting rid of it depending on cost. Sent from my SM-T365 using Tapatalk
